Comparing and Contrasting
-Comparing and contrasting ideas entails critical thinking. Different structures are
possible. For example, we can compare and contrast using the following
comparison and contrast words.
COMPARISON CONTRAST
COORDINATORS But,yet
SUBORDINATORS Although, even
though, though,
While, whereas
TRANSITION However, on
WORDS the other hand
as, like, alike, both, have in common, similar, similarly, too, same
STRUCTURE:
Coordinators can join sentences and begin sentences. When they join
sentences, place a comma before the coordinator.
Ex. Kim likes heavy metal, but Tom prefers classical music.
Kim likes heavy metal. But Tom prefers classical music.
Ex. While Kim likes prime rib, Tom prefers rice and vegetables.
Kim likes prime rib while Tom prefers rice and vegetables.
Transition words do not join sentences; you have to use a semicolon (;) to join
sentences or begin a new sentence with the transition word.
Ex. Kim and Tom have different tastes in music and food; however, they both
like to dance.
